When I first moved "darn sarf" in my 20s (for work) I initially rented a room with a family in a place called Widmer End near High Wycombe ... lived with a married couple and their young sons. The wife was a lot younger than her hubby - my age whilst he was in his fifties - no I didn't! - although she was very tasty indeed. Anyway - evening meals were part of the deal and one night she'd made a Moussaka - the recipe called for a tin of evaporated milk but she made a mistake and used Carnation condensed milk instead (which is really sweet) - trying to be polite, as it was in the first couple of weeks, I attempted to eat it and make appreciative "yum" noises - eventually we both cracked out laughing - got on brilliantly ever after but I couldn't possibly recommend the recipe
This is pretty much how I see it tbh. I used to make lasagne with a veg mix (fried aubergine etc) then pasta them meat, pasta then veg mix, past,meat. A good marinara sauce in between and on top and no bechemel. I even used BBQ sauce straight from a bottle and that was real nice. I once had no lasagne sheets so just used normal cooked pasta/spaghetti I don't do formal cooking. People who are like "oh I don't have garlic so can't make my dish". Unless you were planning on garlic bread then what's the issue? Do without or add something else and see his it goes
Anyone tried this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/item/a27f5c0b-0a46-42b8-a6da-ba0e001e0ee8 On the topic of trying things, anyone seen the fad of a roast dinner in a Yorkshire pudding wrap? A decent pub down here does them, mine was ****ing lovely. I went for beef and had it rare. Loved it.
Neither do pineapples though, yet some nutters love a Hawaiian. Given the choice I'd go for strawberry over pineapple.
I don't no. I can't stand the stuff. People do over there but not as often as people like pizza with it chucked on over here
Ah OK I never been myself but friends of mine from Jamaica ways use pineapple in cooking quite often. Even in the hot dishes. Just assumed it was a thing Have to say I hated it for years but don't mind it so much these days. In really hot dishes like jerk chicken, for example, I have had mango and pineapple and its been quite nice. Not something I use myself when cooking, but you got to give things a go
Regarding the strawberries on pizza it is no weirder than having cranberry sauce or apple sauce with meat for an Asian First time I ordered a biryani in an Indian restaurant and of had raisins and stuff in it I sent it back
Yes and no Yes in that they just chuck it in No because in Indian cooking using certain ingredients is common but the cooking process changes them So cream in a korma isn't just added at the end and heated up. Proper korma would use less cream and more cashew paste but its cooked well with the meat so caramelises but loses the sweetness Its the same with sugar in Chinese and Italia food, it is used to enhance the flavour of the spices not sweeten If that makes sense?
